COMBINED ASH AND "MATCH TRAY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. November 18, 1907. Serial No. 402,598.

Patented May 26, 1908,?

T 0 all whom it ma concern:

Be it known that I, -DAVID J. SEGEL, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Boston, in the county'of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and' useful Improvements in Combined Ash and Match Trays, of which the following is a s ecification.

This invention re ates to a combined ash tray and match holder for the use of smokers and has for its object the production of a device of this class which will be erfectly sanitary. In order to accomplisii this object the device is constructed wholly of glass or similar material, the various parts thereof being integral and free from sharp corners in which the dirt may accumulate.

. The invention further consists in providing a cigar tip cutter which may be removably secured to the match box in such position that the tip of the cigar may be readily operated upon when desired. a

The invention consists further in certain novel features of construction andarrangement of parts which will be readily understood by reference to the description of the drawings and to the claims hereinafter given.

mOf the drawings: Figure 1 represents a erspective view of a device embodying the features of this invention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 represents a sectional plan of the same, the cutting plane being on line 33 on Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 re resents a sectional plan of the match box, t e cutting plane being on line 44 on Fig. 2.

Similar characters designate like throughout the several figures of the arts in s.

In the drawings, 10 represents a cupshaped base from the center of which promember 13 are each provided Wlth a jects upwardly, the stem 11 which is surrounde by a circular receptacle 12, formed by. the annular member 13 projecting upwardly from the cup-shaped'base 10. Between this annular upwardly extending member 13 and the outer rim 14 of the cu shaped member 10 is an annular receptac e 15 adapted to receive cigar ashes as deposited therein by the smoker.

The rim 14 and the upwardly projectilng urality of radial cigar-retaining notches lfi which are adapted to receive a cigar when not in use, the ash end of which is adapted to extend over the annular receptacle 12 so that any ashes which may drop from the end of the cigar will be deposited in said receptacle 12. I

Superimposed u on the upper end of the stem 11 is a mate box 17 provided with a plurality of compartments 18 se arated by the ribs 19 which extend inward y from the outer wall of said match box and connect with the stem 20 of the handle 21 by which the device may be readily handled. The upper face 22 of the rim 14 is roughened in such a manner that when a match is removed from the receptacle 18 it maybe ignited thereon.

Removably secured to the match box 17 by means of the clip 23 is a ci ar tip cutter 24 which may be of any wel -known construction. It will be observed by an inspection of the drawings that the various vertical and horizontal faces of .the receptacles are joined together by curved surfaces so that the device is free from angular corners which are liable to collect the dirt and cause the debe immersed in any suitable cleansing liquid and all of the dirt accumulated therein readily removed, leaving the device always in a perfectly sanitary condition.

The many advantages ofsuch a device as is herein shown and described it is believed will be fully apparent from the foregoing.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination of an ash tray provided with two concentric upwardly extending mem bers in the same horizontal plane adapted to support a cigar; and means ormed upon and extending upwardly from said ash tray serving as a support fora match box.

2. In a device of the class described, the combination of an ash tray provided with two concentric upwardly extending mem bers in the same horizontal'plane adapted to support a cigar, the outer circular member of which is rovided with a roughened surface adaptahle for use as a match igniter; and means formed upon and extending upwar'dly from said ash tray serving as a support for a match box.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination of an ash tray provided with two concentric upwardly extending members in the same horizontal plane adapted to support a cigar, both of sai members being provided with a lurality of radial cigar retainin notches ormed therein; and means forme upon'and extending upwardly from said ash tray-as a su port for a match box.

4. In a device of 5m class described, the combination "of an ash tray having two shallowconcentric receptacles in the same horizontal plane each adapted to receive ashes;

and an upwardly extending member from the center of the inner receptacle serving as a support for a match box made integral with said sup ort. r

5. In a devlceof the class described, the combination of an ash tray having two shallow concentric receptacles each adapted to recelve ashes, each ofwhich is surrounded by an n wardly projecting member having aline radial cigar-receiving notches therein; and an upwardly extending member at the center of said tray serving as a SHPPOIt for a 25 receive ashes, each of which is surrounded by 0' an uwardly projecting member having aline radial cigar-receiving notches therein; and an upwardly extending member at the center of said tray serving as a sup ort for a-match receptacle divided into a p urality 3 ofcompartments and also a. handle.

' I igned by me at Boston, Mass. this 14th day of November, 1907.
